MERRY

CHRISTMAS

在OCIS，每一年的圣诞都热闹而美好，今年也不例外。老师们早早准备了惊喜，孩子们在圣诞树下交换礼物，食堂也准备了精美的圣诞大餐。

At OCIS, every Christmas is lively and beautiful, and this year is no exception. The teachers prepared surprises early, the children exchanged gifts under the Christmas tree, and the cafeteria also prepared delicious Christmas feast.

一年一度的圣诞庆典如约而至，全体师生欢聚一堂，见证每一位学生在舞台上蜕变、闪光和成长！

The annual Christmas celebration arrives as scheduled, and all teachers and students gather together to witness the breakthrough, radiance, and growth of each student on stage!

活动伊始，余校长和Robert校长致辞，他们鼓励每一位学生真正把握时间、珍惜时间，在充满关爱的OCIS继续坚持勇敢、乐观、自信的心态拥抱新的一年。

At the beginning of the event, Principal Yu and Principal Robert delivered speeches, encouraging every student to truly grasp and cherish time, and continue to embrace the new year with a brave, optimistic, and confident attitude in the caring OCIS.

一首首悦耳的歌曲轮番上演，布偶和英文戏剧的自然流畅，舞蹈的自由奔放，从天马行空的想象到脚踏实地的创造，从幕后刻苦练习到登台闪亮演出，在OCIS，学生们用最适合的方式成长，每一个学生都闪闪发光。

A series of wonderful songs are staged in turns, with the natural and smooth display of puppets and English dramas, the free and unrestrained dance, from unbridled imagination to down-to-earth production, from behind the scenes hard practice to shining performances on stage. At OCIS, students grow in the most appropriate way, and each student shines brilliantly.

同时，中学部的老师们精心策划了很多互动游戏，一扫平日学习的紧张，欢声笑语充满了整个会场。

At the same time, the teachers in Secondary carefully planned many interactive games, sweeping away the tension of daily learning and filling the room with laughter and joy.

《约翰福音》有一句充满希望的话，“光明照亮了黑暗，黑暗却无法蒙蔽光明。” 演出在完美中落幕，但孩子们的成长才刚刚起步。2023有困难，有收获，更有进步，我们应该感谢那些给生命带来爱和光明的人；感谢父母尊重我们的成长，重视教育的力量；感谢自己越过重重难关，仍然坚守真诚、善良。更应该我们有幸在这里见证你的成长和闪光！

The Gospel of John has a hopeful saying, "Light illuminates darkness, and darkness cannot obscure light." The performance ends successfully, but children's growth is just beginning. In 2023, there are difficulties, gains, and progress. We should be grateful to those who bring love and delight to life; Thank you to your parents for respecting our growth and valuing the power of education; Thank you for overcoming numerous difficulties and remaining sincere and kind. It is even more fortunate for us to be the one to witness all this happen.

“Merry Christmas”
